Bella's Adventures with Poppi & Nana

Despite the fact that we live in a faraway land, we have recently been blessed by special visits from both Georgia and Texas. And these visits came in the best form possible... grandparents!

First came Poppi!

He's a captivating storyteller.

And he's not too bad at this feeding thing either!

Yes, it's decided! Bella loves her Poppi!

And next came Nana!

Nana excels at the playground.

And this former history teacher ran circles around the The National History Museum.

She can even throw balls, too!

But perhaps the best memory from Nana's trip was taking Bella on her first ever Merry-Go-Round! After the first three ups and downs, Bella made the executive decision that carousels rock and exclaimed "WEEEeeeeee!!!" for the remainder of the ride. Oh happy day.

Speaking of happy days, one major bonus of having Nana in town was that Mike and I got to enjoy our first vacation alone (since Bella arrived) to a nearby B&B for some much needed R&R. We stayed at theBrampton Innin Chestertown, MD (Highly recommend it to any of you local couples looking for a weekend getaway!). We also managed to discover the best crab bisque we've ever eaten at theLemon Leaf Cafe.

But mostly, our days started out like this...

And ended like this...

Hooray for the gift of AWESOME grandparents! We love y'all...especially the two that we missed seeing this time around!!!

About Us

Howdy! I'm Diane, and that fine man on the left there is my husband, Mike. We do life on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. While politics may be the name of the game in this town, in our home, you're more likely to hear about our love of things like: conquering the great outdoors, mastering Italian & Southern cooking, loving on our little girl, creating family traditions, sharing a meal with church friends, eating Chick-fil-a, shopping at Costco & Trader Joes, and treasuring the gospel through it all. Thanks for stopping by!

Meet Bella Mae! I'd like to think our life was interesting enough to blog about before she came in to the world. But let's be honest, I know why you stopped by.
